The German healthcare system is characterized by digital change. In recent years, a trend towards the entry of start-ups and medium-sized enterprises into this sector has developed. These types of companies in particular are facing enormous challenges due to the industry and the ongoing digital change. This article presents the fundamental developments and challenges of these companies. Further solutions developed by the Tech4Age research group are presented briefly. Finally, this article describes how these solutions can be integrated into a formal concept for the promotion and further development of SMEs and start-ups in the German health industry in order to enable them quickly and comprehensively for the development of excellent digital health products.
